From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 386: The Child Who is Looked Down Upon Strives the Hardest

Chapter 386: Chapter 386: The Child Who is Looked Down Upon Strives the Hardest

Nan Qiao disguised as Da Heiniu was dragged into the inner lounge by two waiters.

Feigning unconsciousness, Nan Qiao lay on the ground; the room was cold and damp.

She couldn’t tell whether it was the low temperature or the eerie atmosphere that gave her chills.

The target was powerful—she didn’t dare to close her eyes completely.

The two waiters left at this moment, and a voice sounded in the room.

"Bring me the bag in his hand."

"Yes, boss."

The two stood up, and Nan Qiao suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Emma?! Why is it him?

Nan Qiao remained silent, stealthily squinting her eyes to a narrow slit to observe as they left.

The bag in her hand was taken away, and a man retrieved a small bottle from inside, filled with a light green liquid, mesmerizing to look at.

The man studied the bottle, uncertain. Was this Moon Space One?

The Moon Space One developed by Yu Meng and a cadre of medical geniuses?

The drug that could slow down aging?

The man said, "Bring her to the secret room. I’ll interrogate her myself."

"Yes, boss."

Nan Qiao was carried into the secretarial room. Seeing the situation, she didn’t resist and followed the man into the secret room.

The café’s secret room was small and cramped.

Once inside, a bucket of water was splashed on her.

Nan Qiao pretended to wake up immediately after.

Her voice, imitating Da Heiniu, was gruff: "We agreed to a clean deal—you pay, I deliver! So much for your sense of honor!"

The man sat in a chair, his tone icy: "Is this Moon Space One? How can you prove it? Is Yu Meng in your hands? Hand her over, and I’ll give you the rest of the money."

Nan Qiao: "I don’t believe you, not for a second!"

The man pulled out a gun, pointing it at Nan Qiao: "You leave me no choice."

"And how do I know you’ll pay me? What if you cut me out entirely? Someone like you can’t be trusted. Let me ask you—how did you even know Yu Meng had Moon Space One?"

"That’s not for you to know."

Nan Qiao ripped off her mask, dropping the disguise, her cold gaze fixed on Li Tianhong.

Li Tianhong was stunned: "It’s you!"

"Why couldn’t it be me?" Nan Qiao sneered. "I’m... Yu Meng’s friend. She sent me to look into this."

Li Tianhong’s anger surged: "It’s you! How could it be you? What I have—is it fake?"

Nan Qiao: "Of course it is. You think I’d actually bring the real Moon Space One to you? Dream on!" freёwebnoѵel.com

"Nan Qiao! Dammit, you’re dead! Hand over Moon Space One, or you’ll never leave this café alive!"

Nan Qiao stood up without a trace of fear, even with Li Tianhong’s gun pointed at her.

"Li Tianhong, you want Moon Space One for nothing more than curing yourself, for survival. Isn’t that right?"

Li Tianhong didn’t reply.

Nan Qiao continued: "I’ll take your silence as a yes. But I’m still not giving it to you. Yu Meng has hidden Moon Space One away—you’ll never get it."

"Nan Qiao, name your price. We can negotiate."

"Start by apologizing to Li Yehan."

Li Tianhong: "..."

"Not a chance!" Li Tianhong couldn’t believe Nan Qiao knew Yu Meng.

He had thought Nan Qiao was just a country girl adopted by the Bai Family.

Nan Qiao pressed on: "If you won’t agree, fine. But if I don’t leave here, Li Yehan will take down Li Ye and send your precious son straight to hell."

"He wouldn’t dare!" Li Tianhong’s fury was successfully provoked by Nan Qiao.

Seeing his anger peak, Nan Qiao snatched the gun from his hand.

Li Tianhong: ??

He was just angry—how did Nan Qiao take his weapon so easily?

Nan Qiao understood exactly where and how to press his buttons.

Holding the weapon, Nan Qiao smugly declared, "Mr. Li, your weapon is now in my hands. It’s my turn to ask questions. Don’t answer, and I’ll shoot."

Ignoring Li Tianhong, Nan Qiao continued her demands: "Who told you about Moon Space One? Speak!"

Li Tianhong didn’t respond. Nan Qiao took out a silver needle, flicking it into the back of his hand with precision, making him wince in pain.

Nan Qiao coldly said, "This needle can pierce your hand—or your heart. Speak, or die here and forget about your cure."

Li Tianhong: "You wouldn’t dare!"

Nan Qiao raised an eyebrow: "Watch me."

With a gun in one hand and a silver needle in the other, she awaited his choice.

In the end, Li Tianhong gave in.

Before he could speak, Nan Qiao interrupted, "It was Jiang Linyu, wasn’t it?"

Li Tianhong’s shocked expression confirmed the truth for Nan Qiao.

Just as she suspected.

"Jiang Linyu threw you under the bus, making you the villain, throwing all the danger onto you—yet you still willingly do her bidding?"

Li Tianhong snapped, "Enough! Where is Moon Space One?"

Nan Qiao smirked: "I never said I’d give it to you."

"Nan Qiao!" Li Tianhong roared in frustration.

Nan Qiao taunted further: "Jiang Linyu approached you with an agenda, and yet you pamper her. But all these years, you’ve looked down on Li Yehan. Let’s face it—Li Yehan is the only one truly capable!"

"Nan Qiao, enough talking! Hand over Moon Space One, and I might agree to let Li Yehan marry you. Otherwise, forget entering the Li Family!"

Nan Qiao clicked her tongue mockingly: "Who said I want to enter the Li Family? Why can’t Li Yehan marry into my family? We’re well-off too, and supporting him isn’t an issue. On top of that, Li Yehan is competent enough—he could start from scratch, and I believe he’d succeed. My parents adore me, and I have shares in the family business. We won’t go broke. Why would I need your approval? Is your approval worth that much?"

Her words were a heavy blow to Li Tianhong, leaving him speechless.

Harsh but truthful, her words drove him to the brink.

"Shut up!"

"My mouth is my own. I’ll shut it when I want to—not for you. Who do you think you are?"

Li Tianhong clenched his fists, advancing toward Nan Qiao: "You insolent brat, I’ll kill you!"

"Kill me? I’ll kill you first!"

Nan Qiao raised the gun in her hand, and Li Tianhong froze.

"Jiang Linyu is using you as her pawn, and you’re too blind to see it?"

Li Tianhong’s bloodshot eyes glared at Nan Qiao: "Shut up! Hand over Moon Space One, or I’ll really kill you!"

"Before you kill me, I’ll have already killed you. Why resort to threats all the time? Can’t you sit down and reason? Or is it that your arguments can’t convince anyone?"

Li Tianhong: "..."

Nan Qiao’s sharp tongue left him stunned.

He realized such a woman entering the Li Family would turn everything upside down.

Resolutely, Li Tianhong decided to prevent Li Yehan from marrying her.

He wouldn’t allow it!

"Nan Qiao, I’ll kill you!"

Fuming, Li Tianhong grabbed a chair and marched toward Nan Qiao, ignoring the gun in her hand.
